I have a pale ale cold crashing in my fridge but I'm also expecting a baby this week so could have to go to the hospital before I get to bottle. The beers been crashing for nearly 2 days now and I plan to bottle tomorrow but if I get called away and have to leave it for another 5-7 days would this cause any problems with the beer?
 
Nah you'll be fine. Your window for hop freshness will be a bit narrower but it shouldn't be a big deal. If anything you'll get a more mature beer that will show off the hops better before they begin to decline.
